He should've known it was going to rain. The foreboding dark clouds that hung heavily over the sky and the distant rumble of thunderclaps were more than enough to alert August to the impending weather. Yet here he was, drenched to the bone and now rushing towards a bush shelter so as to duck out of the rain. Thankfully it didn't seem like it would be too heavy, for now at least. It could turn in a matter of minutes to howling winds and flashes of lightning and August wouldn't be the bit surprised. He didn't consider himself a lucky person but he also did not like to dote on that idea either. It could've been worse. In his opinion the times when the sun was blazing at it's full glory was the worse. It irritated his eyes and he often sought out somewhere to sleep it away.
The male pulled his hoodie closer to himself, zipping up the front and then absentmindedly adjusting the drawstrings so they were even before shoving his hands into his pockets. He palmed a Pokeball that was snug there, the Taillow inside cozy and away from the elements. It almost made August jealous of the creature. He hadn't even really an explanation as to why he decided to capture the Pokemon. Those sorts of things never really had interested him. Nothing much really did but one day he had just splurged on a few Pokeballs and now here he was several months later. He didn't consider it a bad decision though. Maybe at first it had been awkward but by now he had grown fond of the Taillow and had even named her. They didn't battle much, simply lingered in each other's presences while wandering about with no clear aim.
August shuffled a few feet to his left and sat down on a wooden bench that had seen better days. He traced his fingers across the numerous grooves carved out by other bored prisoners of the clear plastic shelter. Initials, names, and symbols that really didn't mean much of anything to him. His hand went back into his pocket and August let out a huff of air, leaning sideways to rest against the thin wall that separated him from the wet weather outside.

Somewhere inside the run-down building, there came a clatter as various metallic objects fell to the ground. Thunder rumbled overhead, and a yowl echoed throughout the building as more objects fell to the ground. A small figure dashed out from the other side of the room, only to pause halfway as it noticed August standing there.
A WILD MEOWTH APPEARED !   male, lvl 5, technician scratch - growl
The feline's eyes were wide as it stared as August, it's body tense as the storm edged closer and closer. It was as if it expected August to do something to it -- if the small jump it did as thunder rumbled again overhead. It was obviously hiding away here to get away from the storm, like August was, though it was unsure whether or not August was going to ignore it, or throw it out -- or worse still, attack a Pokemon on him.
What Will August Do?: - Attack the Meowth? - Attempt to chase it off? - Try and befriend it? - Ignore it?

- Try and befriend it? Sleep was pulling against August's eyelids as the minutes ticked by. There wasn't anything else to do after all and he wasn't particularly worried about randomly getting jumped by something or someone. But before he could completely succumb to the notion of dozing off the sharp noise of disturbed objects vibrated through the air followed by the cry of a Pokemon.
Alert again, August looked left to right, searching out where the sounds had come from, and quickly zeroed in on the Meowth. By the look of the feline, they had both been unaware of each other's presences until just now and as a result there was a rigid feeling between the two as the surprise wore off to pose the question of 'what now'?
Slowly August began to reach his hand towards the pocket his hoodie where he had his only Pokemon stored within a red and white capsule but then he paused. Despite not speaking the same language and being two completely different species, there was a familiar understanding between the two. One would assume the Meowth was wild, and if not it had a pretty shoddy trainer for not giving it someplace dry and warm away from the storm.
He leaned forward on the bench, his elbows resting against his knees. Had August any sort of food he would have offered it to the Meowth as a sort of peace offering. So instead he clicked his tongue to try and beckon the cat Pokemon over.

The Meowth watched August warily -- jumping back a foot as the man clicked his tongue. The Pokemon blinked, moving forward again warily as he kept a close eye on the man before him. It was hard to tell how humans would react to a wild Pokemon anymore -- while some offered food and cooing, others offered pain and chase. It shouldn't have been hard to tell whether someone was good or bad -- but it also wasn't worth taking any chances, either. Though, if this human had wanted him out of his sight, he probably would have chased him off or something, right? Plus, there wasn't a Pokemon in sight, nor did he appear to have any on hand; which meant that if the man really wanted to hurt him, he'd likely have to fight took to claw. And most humans didn't seem to like the idea of battling a Pokemon without one of their own on hand.
Carefully, the Meowth took a few more steps forward; stretching his neck to try and get a good whiff of the human without getting too close to him. You couldn't be too careful, after all.

August held still, assuming for a moment that he had made the wrong move as the rather skittish Meowth backed up at the sound he produced. But seconds later the Pokemon began approaching again, alleviating that thought.
He stretched out his hand slowly to try not to startle the feline who made a motion to suggest it was searching for a scent. It was a common enough gesture amoung many mammalian Pokemon although the Meowth would not find any scent of food. It may be able to pick up the faint traces of a Taillow along with the tang of the large city's atmosphere and the heavy rain that currently plagued the area.

Again, the Meowth backpedaled as August offered a hand; watching him with obvious suspicion. Slowly -- hesitantly, rather -- the Meowth stepped forward again, neck stretching in an effort to not get too close to the man while simultaneously setting a whiff of the human's hand. That didn't last too long, as a deep rumble from above sent the Meowth flying beneath the bench August was sitting on -- and keeping under where the man sat as to better keep itself dry. The small feline was now shaking, however, and obviously wasn't enjoying the weather too much.
( OOC; sorry for the shortness. ^^; )

( ooc; No worries! )
August huffed with frustration as the timid Pokemon scurried back from him yet again. He was about to just ignore the Meowth and going back to leaning against the wall and possibly getting some shut eye while waiting for the storm to end. As another low roar of thunder vibrated through the air, sending the feline hurrying beneath the bench as if it would shelter it from the noise. August shifted slightly and leaned forward to peer underneath the seat and, upon seeing the shivering Meowth, got an idea. He grabbed one of the empty Pokeballs he had on him, which he had planned to pawn off for some extra cash but now it seemed they would come in handy.
"Hop in this and the storm won't bother you," August said. He didn't know if the creature would actually understand his words but he felt like it was something he needed to say before flicking his wrist to toss the red and white capsule at the Meowth.

You Caught the Wild Meowth ! [img style="max-width:100%;" src="http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/93/Spr_5b_052.png" alt="Meowth"][img style="max-width:100%;" alt="Meowth" src="http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/2/2f/Spr_b_5b_052.png"]
[b]NICKNAME:[/b] you choose!
[b]GENDER:[/b] Male
[b]LEVEL:[/b] 005
[b]EXP:[/b] 00/15
[b]ABILITY:[/b] Technician
[b]PERSONALITY:[/b] Meowth is a rather timid Pokemon, disliking loud noises and sudden movements, and preferring to be with his trainer at all times, if not in his Pokeball. Whenever the atmosphere is calm, Meowth tends to wander towards any shiny objects that he can find -- albeit moving quietly and preferring to not draw any attention towards himself. He prefers not to battle, and whenever in a situation where he has to, prefer more evasive tactics more than head one attacks.
[b]HELD ITEM:[/b] Oran Berry x1
[b]OBTAINED:[/b] Kenso City (open thread)
With the rain beating steadily overhead, August can either find a place in the immediate area to wait out the storm (ending the thread), or continue onward to find a better place.

For a moment August thought that the Meowth might break free from the pokeball as it wiggled back and forth. Once, twice, a third time- another crash of thunder as lightning lit up the area- click! The sphere fell still as it pinged to alert it's holder to the successful capture. Making a satisfied noise, August pocketed it and leaned back. Now he had two Pokemon, two more than he ever thought he would have. He didn't have any sort of ambition to win gym badges, train the Pokemon to be stronger than others, or to collect as many different types of the creatures as he could but having a few companions wouldn't hurt. But for now they would rest inside the Pokeballs, dry and warm from the current raging weather outside which August would wait out before moving again.
